My daughter-in-law Shoshi made these for my daughter Malka’s vort. I hid one in the back of the fridge so I’d be able to taste it after all the guests left. To my utter dismay, someone had found and eaten it!!! New hiding place, anyone?! I did get to taste these on a different occasion and was waiting for the opportunity to share it with all of you. We are so busy cooking and baking a myriad of dishes for our Chanukah family gatherings that this is one recipe you’ll really appreciate and love. It’s no bake and can be made in advance and frozen. Don’t forget to hide one for yourselves, maybe by a neighbor!

Half and half is a common ingredient in any dairy case. It’s half milk and half cream.
